Appeal Issued Following Craigavon Robbery

Detectives have issued an appeal for information and witnesses following a recent robbery in the Craigavon area.

A 17-year-old boy was travelling on his e-bike at approximately 12.30am on 29 January along a footpath underneath the Tullygally Road near a block of flats, when he was approached by three unknown boys, believed to be aged in their late teens.

Detective Sergeant Stewart said: "The suspects who were armed with blunt weapons, were all dressed in black, two had black surgical masks on their faces, and one was wearing a scarf.

"Two of the suspects assaulted the boy with a weapon and he was subsequently struck off his bike – he was also assaulted whilst on the ground, before he was able to run away.

"The victim suffered bruising to his knees and a broken arm as a result of the assault.

"We are appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time and has any information, or who saw the suspects matching these descriptions, to call police on 101, quoting reference number 1168 01/02/24."
